Pro Bono Economics charity projects help organisations to measure performance, improve their services and better track outcomes. PBE will be focusing its work on areas where improved well-being is a central purpose: 
Education – Including early intervention programmes, adult learning and alternative educational methods
Employment – Including programmes aimed at ex-offenders and vocational training for hard-to-reach young people
Mental health – Including programmes aimed at treatment, prevention and awareness raising
Complex needs – Including criminal behaviour, poverty, homelessness and substance misuse
Many charities tell compelling stories about the individuals they have helped, or quote the number of beneficiaries in their programmes. What they are often unable to do is demonstrate that their interventions are having a real, lasting impact, and estimate its wider value to society.
Charities are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their impact. In a climate of public spending cuts, increased costs, competition with the commercial sector and with new complexities such as payment by results models, there are tough times ahead.
If your charity is thinking about how to evaluate the impact of what you do, or a programme you deliver, Pro Bono Economics may be able to help. They have economists from across the profession who volunteer their time for free. Though they may not be experts in your field, they are experts with data and can bring a new way of thinking about impact to your organisation.
